Disability Pride Parade Bulletin

Disability Pride Parade

Sunday 3rd December marked International Day of People with Disability (IDoPWD). To celebrate the occasion, Dignity Party participated in the 3rd Disability Pride Parade, the only event of its kind in Australia. A large group gathered at the steps of Parliament House before parading down King William Street to Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga.

Thanks also to the Lord Mayor Martin Haese and the City of Adelaide for their ongoing support of and dedicated commitment to community inclusion and the Disability Pride Parade.

Through the work of key Dignity Party volunteers supported by donations large and small from generous donors, we have positioned Dignity Party as a strong alternative political voice in SA. Dignity Party rely on donations because we do not have the benefit of millions of dollars that the old political parties have.

We fundraise and make sure we spend our money wisely. In the lead up to the 17th March 2018 we want to create a strong multi-platform media campaign to make sure voters know about the Dignity Party, Kelly Vincent, our local candidates and the push for a fair and inclusive South Australia.

Kelly Vincent is the voice of compassion, fairness and human rights in our parliament and we don’t want to imagine a future without her there.
